Title: How Many cats
Post by: Kenzi on May 14, 2008, 20:18:31 PM: Hi this is my first post, I have an adult cat and would like a to home a kitten, but I am thinking that maybe I should get 2 so that they can be playmates. That would make 3 cats. So my question is how many cats, are too many? I would be interested to find out how many cats you guys own.

I would also just like to add that I can afford the upkeep of 3 cats.

Thanks.

I originally had my two Abyssinian's (Foxy and Zephyr) who are now 6 years old, then 18 months ago Rosina (Rossi to her friends) join our family. I wasn't planning on getting another kitty and she was only supposed to be staying with me for a few days but she fitted in so well and the other two accepted her straight away so she stayed.

I would go for 2 kittens together as they can entertain each other and will twice the fun for you.
